At the heart of this site stands a tower house, positioned at the southern corner of what was once an impressive bawn; a fortified courtyard measuring approximately 31 metres from northeast to southwest and 28 metres from northwest to southeast. The defensive walls, with foundations nearly a metre wide, would have enclosed this space, creating a secure compound for the tower house’s inhabitants.

The bawn’s defences were further strengthened by a circular mural tower at its northern corner, though today only a cairn of stones marks where this watchtower once stood. Entry to the complex was controlled through a gateway positioned centrally along the northwest wall, its foundations still visible amongst the ruins. Within the protective walls, two buildings once stood; one against the northeast wall and another along the southwest side, likely serving as accommodation for servants, storage, or stabling for horses.

Later modifications to the complex include a rectangular structure built outside the original southeastern wall, positioned northeast of what appears to have been the main house. This addition, whilst constructed after both the house and the original bawn walls, was carefully integrated into the existing defences with its own entrance, just over a metre wide, providing access into the bawn where it meets the house. These layers of construction reveal how the site evolved over time, adapting to changing needs whilst maintaining its essential defensive character.
